Proverbs 28
1 The wicked flee when no one pursues; but the righteous are as bold as a lion.
Thlakche taw ahu am hqut u seiawm cen kaw. Thlakdyng taw samthyn amyihna am thin awm kaw.
2 In rebellion, a land has many rulers, but order is maintained by a man of understanding and knowledge.
Qam khuiawh qaal a thawhawh, ukkung khawzah awm hy, cehlai khaw ak poek thai ingkaw cyihnaak ak taa thlang ingtaw ak dingna qam uk hy.
3 A needy man who oppresses the poor is like a driving rain which leaves no crops.
Khawdengkhqi ak thekhanaak ukkung taw tawi an amak tawi sak qawh tui ing myih hy.
4 Those who forsake the law praise the wicked; but those who keep the law contend with them.
A lawngim ak cehtaakkhqi ing thlakche kyihcah unawh, cehlai a lawngim amyihna khaw ak sakhqi ingtaw oelh uhy.
5 Evil men do not understand justice; but those who seek the LORD understand it fully.
Thlang amak leek ing ik-oeih ak dyng am sim thai uhy, cehlai Bawipa ak sui thlangkhqi ingtaw ak soep cana sim thai uhy.
6 Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than he who is perverse in his ways, and he is rich.
Amak thymna khaw ak sa kuiqang lakawh caawt kawi amak awmna khawksa khawdeng leek bet hy.
7 Whoever keeps the law is a wise son; but he who is a companion of gluttons shames his father.
A lawngim amyihna khaw ak sa thai thlang taw khaw ak poek thai capak cyihna awm hy, cehlai aawk ai ak kamva ak pyinaak capa ingtaw a pa chah pyih sak hy.
8 He who increases his wealth by excessive interest gathers it for one who has pity on the poor.
A pung khawzah lawhnaak ing boei nawh thlang hamna them khawzah ak cun thlang taw, khawdengkhqi ak qeenkung na awm hy.
9 He who turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination.
U awm a lawngim benna haa amak keeng thlang taw, ak cykcahnaak awm tuih ak cu ni.
10 Whoever causes the upright to go astray in an evil way, he will fall into his own trap; but the blameless will inherit good.
Thlakdyng, lam amak leekawh ak ceh pyi taw amah a vaam cawh nawn awh tla kaw, cehlai thlak soep coet amak kap ingtaw qo leek pang kawm uh.
11 The rich man is wise in his own eyes; but the poor who has understanding sees through him.
Kuiqang thlang ing amah ngaih awh thlakcyi na ngai qu mai seiawm, thlak khawdeng khawkpoek thai ingtaw ak ceetna huh pe hy.
12 When the righteous triumph, there is great glory; but when the wicked rise, men hide themselves.
Thlakdyng ing noengnaak a huhawh kyihcahnaak ak sang soeih pe uhy; cehlai thlakche a boei awh thlangkhqi ing thuk taak uhy.
13 He who conceals his sins does not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy.
A thawlh ak thuhphah ak thlang ing qeennaak am ham kawm saw, a thawlhnaak pho sak nawh qeennaak ak thoeh ing qeennaak hu kaw.
14 Blessed is the man who always fears; but one who hardens his heart falls into trouble.
Bawipa ak kqihcah poe taw thlang zoseen ni, am thin ak sah ak thlang taw kyinaak sawng kaw.
15 As a roaring lion or a charging bear, so is a wicked ruler over helpless people.
Khawdeng ak thekhanaak ukkung taw samthyyn ak kaawk ingkaw phawm ak tlung ing myih hy.
16 A tyrannical ruler lacks judgment. One who hates ill-gotten gain will have long days.
Khawkpoek thainaak amak ta ukkung taw thlang ak phep qeekung ni, amak thymna them huh ak sawhnaak thlang taw a hqinglung saang kaw.
17 A man who is tormented by blood guilt will be a fugitive until death. No one will support him.
A kutawh thlang thi ak lawng lawkkhqawng dungawh tla kawm saw, u ingawm koeh hul seh nyng.
18 Whoever walks blamelessly is kept safe; but one with perverse ways will fall suddenly.
U awm ak thymna khawksa taw loet sakna awm kawm saw, amak thymna khawksa taw tlu poe kaw.
19 One who works his land will have an abundance of food; but one who chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty.
A loawh bi ak bi ing aawk ai khawzah hu kaw, cehlai a nawmnaak doeng ak sui thlang taw khawdeng kaw.
20 A faithful man is rich with blessings; but one who is eager to be rich will not go unpunished.
Thlak ypawm ing zoseennaak hu kawm saw, cehlai boei ak ngaih aih taw a phep kaana am hlah kawm uh.
21 To show partiality is not good, yet a man will do wrong for a piece of bread.
Thlang mikhai toek am leek hy, cehlai phaipi cun oet mai ing thlang ing thawlh sai thai hy.
22 A stingy man hurries after riches, and does not know that poverty waits for him.
Thlakqu ing them hu hquut nawh, ak khan-awh khawdengnaak a pha law hly am sim hy.
23 One who rebukes a man will afterward find more favor than one who flatters with the tongue.
Awih leek ing anik kyihcahna ak saa qu thlang lakawh anik toelthamkung ing a huna kyihcahnaak hu kaw.
24 Whoever robs his father or his mother and says, “It’s not wrong,” is a partner with a destroyer.
A nu pa a them muk nawh, “Am poei hy,” ak ti taw thlang ak plam sakkung ni.
25 One who is greedy stirs up strife; but one who trusts in the LORD will prosper.
Ak kamvaa a awmnaak awh phekbonaak awm nawh, Bawipa ak ypnaak taw thlang zoseen ni.
26 One who trusts in himself is a fool; but one who walks in wisdom is kept safe.
Ak poeknaak awh ak hanng ak thlang taw thlakqaw na awm nawh, cehlai cyihnaak awh ak cet taw thlang zoseen ni.
27 One who gives to the poor has no lack; but one who closes his eyes will have many curses.
Khawdeng them ak pe taw am khawdeng kawm saw, ak hawimang taak taw quun khy pekna awm kaw.
28 When the wicked rise, men hide themselves; but when they perish, the righteous thrive.
Thlakche a boei awh thlak boei ing thuk taak nawh, cehlai thlakche a thih awh thlakdyngkhqi pung uhy.
